EES Awarded Highest CARF Accreditation
In December 2007, Eastside Employment Services was awarded a Three-Year Accreditation by CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. This represents the highest level of accreditation achievable.
EES received accreditation in Community Employment Services and Employment Planning Services. The certification results from findings during CARF’s on-site survey.
“EES is a value-driven organization that has developed creative approaches in providing employment planning and community employment services to adults… The organization’s staff members are dedicated, with significant tenure, and are committed to enhancing the lives of persons served through identifying realistic employment goals and achieving community integration dreams.”
“EES enjoys an excellent reputation among funding sources, professionals and the community… Particularly impressive are the quality and wage level of the job placements.”
“It is a progressive organization in its commitment to self-advocacy and advocacy of systems, which is very evident in its employment sites. Parent input reveals that EES staff members have made commitments to continue services as persons progress through career ladders of their choosing.”
“EES is commended on the partnership with Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, King County Developmental Disabilities Division, Northshore School District and O’Neill and Associates in the realization of Project Search. The commitment of the partners is a shining example of a successful project that benefits all parties involved and, most importantly, the persons served who are hospital employees.”
CARF, established in 1966, is an internationally recognized, non-profit accreditor promoting and advocating for quality rehabilitation services.
